SaskJam '90, 1990. I prepared a schedule for 150 patrols to participate in their choice of 26 events in 13 event periods for the Saskatchewan Provincial Jamboree. This involved a number of loading and satisfaction projections and five sets of tentative program schedules. The task was complicated by small event loading capacities and a number of rules for relationships between events requiring a high degree of human interaction with computer software due to the computational complexity of attempting to do fully automated scheduling. This involved approximately 200 hours of work in each of the 1989-90 and 1990-91 academic years, primarily done outside normal working hours. This activity was in preparation for SaskJam '90 which was held July, 1990. |
